Geraldo Rivera Says the ‘AR’ in AR-15 Means ‘Automatic Rifle’
Breitbart ^ | 01-18-2023 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 01/18/2023 7:52:49 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

FOX News personality Geraldo Rivera backed President Biden’s push for an “assault weapons” ban and said that the “AR” in AR-15 stands for “automatic rifle” on Tuesday’s The Five.

Newsweek quoted Rivera telling the co-hosts, “I submit to you, ladies and gentlemen, there is no legitimate reason … to have an AR-15.”

He described the AR-15 as a “machine gun” that people own in order to make them feel “macho.”

And “Geraldo Rivera” stands for “Gerry Rivers”, his real name.

I guess that means I can’t shoot anyone with my XM-15, or my Mini-14 for that matter.

I’ll have to settle for shooting Ukes with my Mossberg 12 gauge.

But the mess...

BTW, how does a newbie such as yourself know who acts how on Free Republic?

Do you think you’re somebody?

You’re not. And you’re likely not to last.

It’s pretty easy to pick out who is who on this forum from a few months of reading.

My AR is not automatic. Was I shortchanged?

Jerry Rivers should stick with naked selfies. That’s something he at least understands.

You, Sir, are a true hero.

Those guys were so brilliant back then. I saw them live in Summer of ‘72 I think it is. The Impressions opened the show.

Poor WHOR-aldo.

79 Years old, “fat lady” warming up on life, not relevant to anyone under 70, viewed as a Side Show freak - No one caring what he says anymore.

AR means Automatic Rifle? Okay Geraldo. Whatever you say.

Never ever EVER try to educate a hoplophobe.

They will only ... 1000% of the time is whatever you say to further their agenda to cause you and your loved ones harm.

If anyone calls for the removal of ANY method of defense from you they are directly promoting, calling for and wishing for your harm.

These individuals are not your friend. They are not welcome to the table. They are not humans but only demons.

Befriend and speak to NO hoplophobe.

“AR” stands for ArmaLite Rifle, using the company name of the first company to develop this configuration, and the patent rights were sold to Colt. The Colt AR-15 is the only genuine AR rifle, and they hold the copyright on the name, but as the patents expired, other manufacturers began production of “AR-style” rifles, under their own designations.

Still a selective-fire design, and there is no “automatic” to it.

Most people at Faux News are morons when it comes to firearms. Hannity commonly refers to AR-15s as assault rifles and no one corrects him. One of the reasons why I tuned that channel out.

Yes, you were shortchanged. We all were.

There is no technological or engineering reason for a select fire Stoner Pattern rifle to cost any more or be any more scarce than a semi-auto only Stoner Pattern rifle. The extra cost and scarcity we face is purely the result of our Feral Government violating the Second Amendment and abusing us.
